Alexander Zachariah Borden, or "Shorty," as he was called, came to Death Valley in 1887
looking for gold. He found a few strikes scattered here and there in the surrounding
mountainous terrain, although they were nothing to get excited about. His search, however,
did give him an intimate knowledge of the area, and he did gain a bit of fame by locating
water just off the Westside Road. The developed wellsite would become known on maps as
"Shorty's Well," no small recognition since water can be far more valuable than gold in
the desert.
